For the Time Being: Modus Vivendi Liberalism or Political Liberalism?. 330 $aThis book provides a comprehensive account of the phenomenon of identity in politics, featuring for the first time the question of individual emancipation. It addresses the burning questions of our times, viz. nationalism, populism, Islamic fundamentalism, multiculturalism, postsecularism and postcolonialism. The volume repudiates an easy reconciliation between identity and emancipation, such as it occurs in contemporary liberal and multicultural political theories. It shows that we cannot achieve emancipation without Kant?s help, whereas identity relentlessly draws us back to collective values and the community. The book urges for a new understanding of identity and a politics that instead of accommodating identities seeks to govern them. Identity is the buzzword in the humanities and social sciences, but also the most contentious and least conceptualized term. This book intends to bring theoretical clarity into the debate on how identity plays out in politics. 410 0$aPhilosophy and Politics - Critical Explorations,$x2352-8370 ;$v13 606 $aPolitical science$xPhilosophy 606 $aSelf 606 $aIdentity (Psychology) 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aCritical theory 606 $aReligion and politics 606 $aPolitical Philosophy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E37000 606 $aSelf and Identity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Y20150 606 $aPolitical Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911010 606 $aCritical Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E44010 606 $aPolitics and Religion$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911250 615 0$aPolitical science$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aSelf. 615 0$aIdentity (Psychology) 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aCritical theory. 615 0$aReligion and politics. 615 14$aPolitical Philosophy. 615 24$aSelf and Identity. 615 24$aPolitical Theory. 615 24$aCritical Theory. 615 24$aPolitics and Religion. 676 $a305 700 $aKaul$b Volker$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0979481 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910420925603321 996 $aIdentity and the Difficulty of Emancipation$92233469 997 $aUNINA
